OUR MISSION: Feeding the hungry today and solving hunger for tomorrow through community partnership. The Food Bank of Northern Nevada provides emergency food services to families through a network of more than 155 partner agencies in a 90,000 square mile service area throughout northern Nevada and the eastern slope of the sierra in California. We serve more than 137,000 people each month, nearly half of whom are children and seniors. Last fiscal year, we provided more than 17 million meals to neighbors in need. The Food Bank also plays a leading role in collaborating with other committed northern Nevada community members and organizations to address the root causes of hunger. The Food Bank incorporated in 1983 and has operated as a 501C3 non-profit organization for 40 years. We have grown from a small pantry to a regional distribution center helping many families who struggle with hunger. We are a proud member of Feeding America, a network of more than 200 food banks.
